[[Image:Oxalis corniculata in Talakona forest, AP W IMG 8538.jpg|thumb| ]] '''Creeping Woodsorrel''' (''Oxalis corniculata''), also called '''Procumbent Yellow-sorrel''' or '''Sleeping Beauty''', resembles the [[Common Yellow Woodsorrel]] (''O. stricta''). It is a somewhat delicate-appearing, low-growing, [[herb]]aceous [[plant]] in the family [[Oxalidaceae]]. It has a narrow, creeping stem that readily roots at the [[node (botany)|node]]s. The trifoliate [[Leaf|leaves]] are subdivided into three rounded leaflets and resemble a [[clover]] in shape. Some varieties have green leaves, while others, like ''Oxalis corniculata'' var. ''atropurpurea'', have purple. The leaves have inconspicuous [[stipule]]s at the base of each [[Petiole (botany)|petiole]]s. The [[fruit]] is a narrow, cylindrical [[Capsule (fruit)|capsule]], 1 to 2 cm long and noteworthy for its explosive discharge of the contained, 1 mm long seeds. {{Inc| Oxalis corniculata, Linn. (O. stricta. Linn.). Slender, prostrate, often rooting, loosely hairy: lfts. obcordate. Var. atropurpurea, Planch. (O. tropaeoloides, Schlecht.). Spreading, red-purple: fls. few, in umbels on rather short axillary peduncles, small, yellow. Eu.—A closely related smaller plant common everywhere as a greenhouse weed, especially in agave and cactus tubs, is the tropical O. repens, Thunb. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
